State Board of Agriculture.

The Natchez-D Democrat suggests that
the Farmers Alliance could accom-
plish good by securing from the
Legislature Il Board of Agriculture.
The suggestion sprung from reading
the report of the State Board of Agri-
culture of Kansas giving " the area of
every county in the State, amount of
land in cultivation, the character of
and amount of various crops of all
kinds, the population of each county,
the character of the soil of each of the
counties, their geological pecularities
and every matter of interest connect
ed with all the sections of the State"
The Democrat very sensibly holds
that the publication of such matters
with reference to our own State
would be a magnificent advertisement
of our resources and the capabilities of
our soil, and thinks the State census
should be taken five years from the
United States census for every five
years makes vast difference in the
condition of the different parts or our
State.

ALLIANCE MATTERS.
1T WILL NOT FAIL.
The Most Permanent Organiza-
ton of Farmers Ever
Oranized.

1t is strange that associations and
unions of men in al! enterprises and
professions are maintained with pros
porous permanance, and no one pre-
diets their failure, and yet so many
loudly insist that the farmers can
never have permanent associations and
that the Farmers Alliance must soon
suffer failure and demolition.
These statements are made without
any foundation or reason, and by men
who are enemies of the Alliance, when
there is no just cause for them to have
any such hostility.
The history of the Alliance, which
has now been in existence fifteen years
and during that time has strengthened
and spread with a continuous tread
proves almost beyond doubt that
the Alliance cannot fail.
This organization, which grew out
of the evident necessity for co-Opera.
ton among men of every vocation,
had an humble birth. 1t came into
the world with no sound of cymbal OIL
blare of bugle; and no Spectator, nc
politician and no idler helped to ere.
ate it.
The farmers of Lampassas county
Texas, saw that they could best pro,
tect themselves and promote their in
terests by cooperation and humbly
and modestly enough, they formed an
Alliance, the principal Object of which
was protection against land and stock
thieves.
The good effects of the Alliance were
obvious and indubitable. its aims were
things against which they needed
protection, and the organization aided
them in every respect.
1t spread into every county in the
State, with no failure or decay in any
single locality. 1t was introduced in
to other States, and in each one its
growth was just as sure and steady
as in the State of its birth, and every
where it has helped, rs nothing else
could have helped to save the far
mer from his previous utter helpless
ness to control the prices of the pro
ducts of his labor.
1t has now been in operation i'll
Texas fifteen years, and it is scarcely
possible to imagine an organization i'll
Il more prosperous condition. 1t has
100000 members in that State, over
100 cotton ware houses and II Touring
mills, and has about completed three
cotton factories.
1t is not the enemy of the merchant
the manufacturer or the body or brain
laborer anywhere, or of any legiti-
mate business. 1t has accomplished
great good not only for the Farmers
of Texas but also for the material in
terests of the State.
And if there is anything in this his
tory of fifteen years to fOrbGde an
early downfall of this greatest of agri-
cultural associations, it is not appa-
rent to the ordinary mind.
But one thing is sure, if this organ
ization cannot be maintained and
made Il lasting success, there is nC
hope of any other such organization
aud no hope of the agricultural classes
being materially benetited.-Ddii5

OPPOSED TO THE KNIGHTS
OF LABOR.
RESOLUTIONS OF PAULp1SG ALLrAsoE.

WHEREAS, In view of the seeming
tendency of some Alliances TO bring
about a union of the Farmers ALI
ance and the Knights ofLabor, we, the
Farmers Alliance of Paulding, Miss,
No. SOL, do adopt the following reso-
buttons:
Resolved 1, That we view with
alarm any attempt to unite the two
organizations, and do hereby enter
our solemn protest against any union
whatever, because it is against the
Constitution of the Farmers Alliance.
ResOlUed 2, That the Alliance is
pledged to resist monopoly, and by
uniting with the knights of Labor"
we would be uniting with people
who by their votes send men to Con-
gress to increase and perpetuate the
burden of tariff taxation, which the
farmer is now staggering under.
ResOlUed 8, That the said tariff is
the cause of building up one of the
greatest monopolies and privileged
class legislation that ever was impos-
ed upon free people OF this or any
other age, and by uniting with the
Knights we would only be fastening
the shackles more firmly upon us.
ResOlred 4, That their organization
or attempting to organize the farm
labOrers of this country, is a direct
blow at the farmer, as witness the late
trouble in Louisiana which has led to
bloodshed and murder.
Resolred 5, That their advocating
eight hours as days work and their
declared opposition to capital, if sue
cessful, would be an injury to every
land holder, for they are capitalists to
the extent of what they have invested
in their farms, teams, etc.
ReSOlred 6, That in view of the
above stated facts, we urge upon the
Alliances of this county and State to
take action at once on this matter.

False Arguments Answered.

cause few will break that law, shall we

will be if it was not condemned by the
neral and legal law. The same applies
to murder, arson, otc., and amid this
category of crime, drunkenness, which is
specially forbidden by God, does not stand
as least, but occupies promnent place

What Has the Alliance Accom-
pIiShed?

Nearly every day we hear thisques-
ton a ked, and further, we hear it
asked, What can the Alliance ac-
cOmplish ?" We do not intend to
make labored effort to show what it
can accomplish, but merely refer
those who are anxious to know, to the
grand results achieved in Texas,
where the Alliance had its origin by a
handful of farmers combining against
cattle thieves.
To-day we see factories already
established and others being establish
ed, Alliance commission houses with
the best standing in commercial
circles, cotton exchanges, etc. The
influence of the movement in that
State is felt and appreciated, and
Dallas contributed $150.000 as an in
ducement to the Alliance to establish
its headquarters in that city.
1t is true, our State is not in as good
financial condition as Texas, and we
cannot expect such great resultshere ;
and besides, the organization is in its
infancy in Mississippi, but time will
work wonders, and we expect the
realization of much of the good that
has come to the farmers of Texas.
The aims and the purposes of the
Alliance are not secret-anyOne may
know, and can know, if they desire,
what the Alliance eOntemplates ac-
cOmplishing.
How it intends to accomplish its
purposes is not question for discus
sion. Suffice it to say, it is not by
illegal or dishonest methods, nor at
the expense or to the detriment of any
other industry. In fact, agriculture,
commerce and manufactures are not
enemies, but allies.
The good results of the Alliance in
COpiah county are becoming more
evident every day, and with little
patience, and little diligence,
better things can confidently be looked
for.-HasIehurst Signal Copiahan.

This December LIST, 1877

In the Northwest there are five
months during which nothing can be
done on the farm but keep up fires and
feed stock, whilst in our own favored
climate there are not five weeks dur
ing which the weather is cold enough
to interfere with any kind of out door
work, and i'll these few weeks the
thermometer rarely falls to Is degrees
above zero. With these advantages
of climate, too, we have in the South
a better soil and greater variety of
productions, and in every respect Il
more favorable location for the farmer
and for industrious men in every
occupation who are seeking for com
fort, competence and wealth.

A specimen of molasseS from
Louisiana cane, made by Mr.. Sam
Farmer, of Rocky Springs, was on ex-
hibition in Port Gibson this week. 1t
is equal to the best grade of New
New Orleans goods, with the addi-
tional merit of undoubted purity. The
quantity of molasses made in Clai-
borne county is yearly increasing and
has already become large enough to
lessen perceptibly the sale of the
Louisiana product Rereille.
